Copper Kettle / Study

Color! The richness and variety of the orange in the kettle, fabric and flowers are complimented by the blue green of the foliage. To my eye this is irresistible!

Toaster and Oranges

Surprise ! A toaster still life .

These simple elements ; fruit ( or vegetables ) and reflective surfaces are  compelling subjects that I enjoy revisiting.  They are painted from life, as a landscape plein air painter will do.  I think of these still lifes as plein air of the kitchen,

Gym Figure # 1 (Lisa )

This is the first of a series of small paintings of figures at the gym. I like painting figures while engaged in their activity, not posed portraits. This interest began in 1987 when I painted the carpenters who built my house, and has continued intermittently since.
